Agenda
• The Open Group• The Architecture Forum• Why Enterprise Architecture• Why a Framework• TOGAF 9.1• TOGAF 9 Certification• Summary
• Is an international vendor - and technology – neutral consortium that organizations rely on to lead the development of IT standards and certifications
• Provides guidance and open environment to enable interoperability and vendor-neutrality
• Membership is open to all enterprises, small, medium and large, anywhere in the world

Our Vision
Boundaryless Information Flow™achieved through global interoperabilityin a secure, reliable and timely manner
“Boundaryless does not mean there are no boundaries – it means that boundaries are permeable to enable business.”
The mission of The Open Group is to drive the creation of Boundaryless Information Flow™achieved by:• Working with customers to capture, understand and address current and emerging requirements, establish policies, and share best practices; • Working with suppliers, consortia and standards bodies to develop consensus and facilitate interoperability, to evolve and integrate specifications and open source technologies; • Offering a comprehensive set of services to enhance the operational efficiency of consortia; and• Developing and operating the industry's premier certification service and encouraging the procurement of certified products.
• Governing Board work groups– Open CA Work Group– Open CITS Work Group– UNIX Work Group
• Member Forums – Architecture, ArchiMate®– Enterprise Management, Platform– Real Time & Embedded, Security and Identity Management– Trusted Technology Forum, Jericho Forum
• Work Groups– Business Architecture– Cloud Computing– Quantum Lifecycle– Semantic Interoperability, including Universal Data Element Framework
(UDEF)– Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Forums/Work Areas of The Open Group
• Meeting points for Suppliers and Buyers• Each Forum is effectively an autonomous consortium
operating within The Open Group– Direction determined by members– Outputs approved by members– Must obey some rules to respect anti-trust legislation
• Forums initiate new areas of work, often in partnership with other Forums– …leading to industry standards– …leading to certification programs based on those standards
• The mission of The Open Group Architecture Forum is to advance The Open Group vision of BoundarylessInformation Flow, for and between enterprises,
• Through a set of programs that focus on all architectural aspects, including: – Providing broad and deep leadership to the EA community – Validating, publishing, fostering, and maintaining best practices for
EA – Developing, organizing, researching, and publishing thought leaders
in EA – Initiating and managing programs and projects to support these
• An Architecture is the fundamental organization of something, embodied in:– its components,– their relationships to each
other and the environment,– and the principles governing
its design and evolution.

What is Enterprise Architecture?
Enterprise Architecture is:• The organizing logic for business
processes and IT infrastructure reflecting the integration and standardization requirements of the firm’s operating model.[1]
• A conceptual blueprint that defines the structure and operation of an organization. The intent of an enterprise architecture is to determine how an organization can most effectively achieve its current and future objectives. [2][1] MIT Center for Information Systems Research
• Two key reasons why you need an enterprise architecture:– Critical to business survival and success– Enables managed innovation within the enterprise
of 67Slide 24
Pressure to develop Enterprise Architecture
• Laws and regulations– Clinger-Cohen Act (US Information Technology
Management Reform Act 1996)– EU Directives on the Award of Public Contracts– Sarbanes-Oxley
• More extended enterprises• More co-operative IT operations• Greater publicity to failures• Increase in litigation• Audit requirements
• It helps an organization achieve its business strategy• Faster time to market for new innovations and capabilities• More consistent business processes and information across
business units• More reliability and security, less risk

Business Benefits of Enterprise Architecture
• A more efficient business operation• A more efficient IT operation• Better return on existing investment, • Reduced risk for future investment• Faster, simpler, and cheaper procurement

What is an Architecture Framework?
• Definition 3.13: Architecture Framework– A conceptual structure used to develop, implement and sustain an
enterprise architecture
• It should describe a method for designing target state of the enterprise in terms of a set of building blocks, and for showing how the building blocks fit together
• It should contain a set of tools and provide a common vocabulary
• It should also include a list of recommended standards and compliant products that can be used to implement the building blocks
• Provides a practical starting point for an Architecture Project– Avoids the initial panic when the scale of the task
becomes apparent– Systematic – “Codified common sense”– Captures what others have found to work in real life– Contains a Baseline set of resources for reuse

Enterprise Architecture Development MethodVendor, tool and technology neutral open standard
Avoids re-inventing the wheel
A comprehensive general method
Widely adopted in the market
Available under a free perpetual license
Tailorable to meet an organization and industry needs
Possible to participate in the evolution of the framework
Based in best practices
Business IT alignment
Complementary to, not competing with, other frameworks
• Provide architectural oversight for the implementation.
• Defines architecture constraints on implementation projects
• Govern and manage an Architecture contract
• Monitors implementation work for conformance
• Produce a Business Value Realization.

Phase HArchitecture Change Management
• Provide continual monitoring and a change management process
• Ensures that changes to the architecture are managed in a cohesive and architected way
• Establishes and supports the Enterprise Architecture to provide flexibility to evolve rapidly in response to changes in the technology or business environment
